Dear So and So

Catrin, I agree, I wish my body could acclimatize to winter. It was freezing yesterday and the day before and I, too will be riding outside tomorrow and Saturday, in January. I so want to be on my x country skis, this is killing me. I need a mental break from riding, so I feel fresh in March. It's not like I am a racer, or anything, but I look forward to focusing on something else.

I am going to go on a big hike tomorrow on a couple of the longer mountain bike trails in my favorite park. I've not seen those trails yet so this seems a good time before the winter weather returns. With OUR like, winter will stay away until Superbowl week - or worse yet - it will rain that week

I have a friend that is BEGGING me to do some outdoor rides with her. I just can't bring myself to do it. This is my non-bike season. Yeah, I do some interval trainer or computrainer rides, but its my cross-training. Tis the season for running. And trying new classes at the gym. And strength training. And skipping workouts to read novels and soak in the tub.

I too wish the snow would come! I would love to be xc skiing and snow shoe running. And the kids are DYING to make a snowman and to go sledding. I'm sure it will get here soon enough

I need to move to the beach, if I never saw a snowflake again in this lifetime I'd be a happy woman.

Pax, you're very welcome to switch places with me. Although I don't know how you'd feel about tropical rainstorms that feel like you're getting pelted with marbles when you get caught on the bike in one... It's been blazing hot lately hereabouts, I walk out to get lunch and return with heat induced headaches. Just two weeks ago, it rained for days and days. Is it me or is the weather getting more extreme these days??

I lived in Clearwater FL for a few years, so I know what you mean about tropical rainstorms; they were insane!

But I'll take those over Central IL ice and snow.
